Biologists have found the first recorded species of frog that breathes without lungs in a clear, cold-water stream on the island of Borneo in Indonesia.
According to a report in National Geographic News, the frog, named “Barbourula kalimantanensis”, gets all its oxygen through its skin.
“Nobody knew about the lunglessness before we accidentally discovered it doing routine dissections,” said David Bickford, a biologist at the National University of Singapore.
